Sia Host Manager + Ubuntu LTS file directory problem #82

Closed j03020 closed 2 years ago

j03020 commented 2 years ago

After upgrading to the new Ubuntu LTS version I have encountered several problems with sia host manager. First the appimage version did not want to start, discovered I had to install libfuse for appimages to work again. Now sia host manager is starting without a hitch. Next problem I have encountered is that sia host manager complains about having no access to the file directories? ("path/xyz/ is inaccessible. This can cause data corruption and revenue loss. Check your folder path and permissions") I'm still finishing contracts and did not change any permissions. Anyone got a tip for me on how to solve this issue?

I updated Electron to fully support Ubuntu 22.04, https://github.com/siacentral/host-manager/releases/tag/v1.2.4-beta.1

As far as the inaccessible folder goes, that's usually a permissions/connection issue from siad and unrelated to Host Manager. You should be able to see the error in the Sia contract manager log.
